My Lord, What a Night

Written by Deborah Brevoort

In 1937, legendary singer Marian Anderson gave a concert in Princeton, NJ, but was refused accommodations at a local hotel because of her race. Albert Einstein, then a professor at Princeton, invited her to stay at his home, creating a furor and beginning a friendship between the two that would last a lifetime. Inspired by actual events, My Lord, What a Night explores the struggles faced by two icons of the 20th century, as they deal with the injustices of Jim Crow and the rise of anti-Semitism during a highly divided era in American history.Saturday, May 4 @ 2pm

Walden

Written by Amy Berryman

Walden is set in the not-so-distant future, when climate change has led to human colonization of other planets.

As the twins grapple with questions of rivalry and love, humanity hangs in the balance.Saturday, May 4 @ 8pm

Delmonico

Written by Jack Canfora

Directed by Will Pomerantz

From the writer of Bay Street’s Fellow Travelers!

August, 1964, and Beatlemania is at its height. But when the Fab Four get a chance to meet folk singer Bob Dylan, it’s the boys from Liverpool who are initially star struck. Based on real events, Delmonico tells the story of the night these two titanic musical forces met, influenced one another, and helped chart the course of the 1960s and beyond.Sunday, May 5 @ 3pm

Can a princess skip the spells, snag the prince and slay the dragon, all while staying true to herself? An adventure like no other awaits.
